S2A28A HPE StoreEasy 1570 NAS

High-Density 5U Windows NAS Storage Appliance for File and iSCSI Services with the S2A28A

The S2A28A is an HPE StoreEasy 1570 5U Windows-based file/block appliance designed for departmental and branch consolidation where predictable throughput, simple administration, and controlled growth are required. Built on an Intel Xeon Scalable platform, the S2A28A combines Windows file services with iSCSI block capabilities to support mixed workloads without introducing a separate SAN stack.

Its memory architecture starts with 16GB DDR5 ECC RDIMM to maintain data integrity under sustained I/O, while the PCIe 5.0 expansion profile enables future network or HBA upgrades without constraining lane bandwidth. The storage design focuses on operational resilience: 4 x 3.5in hot-swap SATA bays are populated with 4 x 2TB 6Gb/s HDDs and delivered preconfigured as RAID 10, balancing read performance with fault tolerance; RAID 0/1/5/10 options align the S2A28A to capacity-optimised archive targets or performance-optimised shares. For secure, serviceable deployments, the system integrates TPM, a dedicated BMC management port, and a web-based UI for day-2 operations.

Why Choose the S2A28A?

The S2A28A delivers an efficient density-to-performance ratio for branch and departmental storage by combining SMB/CIFS, NFS, and iSCSI in a single managed appliance. With hot-swap media, RAID protection, and an 80 PLUS Platinum PSU with optional redundancy, the S2A28A supports enterprise uptime objectives while scaling through PCIe 5.0 expansion as connectivity requirements evolve.

HPE engineering emphasises predictable lifecycle management, validated platform integration, and alignment with modern data centre operational standards, including secure hardware roots of trust, out-of-band management, and serviceability features that simplify deployment across distributed sites.

Key Applications:

• Departmental SMB/CIFS file shares
• NFS storage for branch Linux workloads
• iSCSI datastores for small virtualisation clusters
• Backup-to-disk and archive repositories
• Centralised user home directories
